So, he instructed Larry to drag Leon and Conor into the basement and lock them up.
Afterward, Sonny carried Nathaniel to his room on the second floor and got a fever patch to cool him down.
Sadly, it didnât work as his fever remained high.
Sonny then sent someone to buy some antipyretics and gave him a shot of injection to bring down his fever.
It wasnât until late at night that he finally woke up.
Sonny checked his temperature once more and was relieved to see that it had decreased to a low-grade fever.
Nathanielâs life had been saved, and Sonny felt grateful for that.
Sonny heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the bedside with a sad expression on his face.
âBoss, look at what happened to you! This is what you get for risking your life! You ended up being locked up by Cyrus.
He wonât even let you go to the hospital to see Miss Ross.
He probably wonât let her know that you rescued her.
He has gone too far!â
Nathanielâs eyelashes fluttered.
His once bright eyes had lost its color due to the intense fever and his handsome face had pated.
It wasnât surprising that Cyrus would do something like this.
After all, he had always despised him.
And now that Nathaniel had learned that Cyrus was his ex-wifeâs brother, he felt somewhat guilty about the whole situation.

He wasnât worried about Lucinda since he knew Cyrus would take proper care of her.
Seeing how weak Nathaniel was and how he couldnât find the strength to say something, Sonny felt pity for him.
âBoss, youâre not as strong as you used to be, and you canât handle the cold.
The water was freezing, and you still jumped in to save her.
Why didnât you wait for Cyrus to do it?â
Are you stupid? Are you out of your mind?
Sonny knew better than to voice his last thought out loud.
He didnât want to get tortured by Nathaniel when he got well.
Nathaniel had lost his voice and didnât feel like talking.
He turned over and went back to sleep.
Last night, when he arrived, he had heard Lucindaâs words and seen her jump into the river.
He had been unable to stop her and could only stand by and watch her jump.
The memory made it hard for him to breathe.
Just the thought of that made his heart ache.
He vowed to himself that he would never let something like that happen again.
